•   In this assignment we were to create a blog on a topic chosen by us. This blog was to help us write informal. Basically how we see information on the internet now. No big blocks of text and usage of pictures.
• Some of the challenges I faced was getting more information for my topic and learning how to use up more space.
• In my success I think I did a good job for my first time. If we had another assignment like this, I would definitely spend more time and work a lot harder .
• I learned how to make a blog and in the future this will be helpful for my career. I'm glad I learned it now. I now have the skills for informal writing for the digital world.

SMOKING IS NOT OKAY!

 

Smoking during pregnancy will effect your baby during and after birth. The umbilical cord receives nutrient and air to breath from the mother. When smoking nicotine it goes straight to the baby. Secondhand smoke is just as bad.

This a video that sums up my whole blog. I hope you enjoy it. I also hope that you think twice about smoking or drinking during pregnancy or know of someone who does.

 STOP AND THINK!

Having a small amount of wine is healthy during pregnancy. But swallowing BEER and ALCOHOL are a NO-NO. They are dangerous to the baby as well as yourself. The baby may also have a chance of deformations. Wouldn't you want to give your baby the world? Check out this short video for more information.
